Podcasts about faith in jesus christ

Presented by Lauren Stibgen How do you define abundance? A quick search will tell you abundance in life is experiencing a state of more than enough in all aspects which includes but is not limited to wealth, relationships, health, joy, and fulfillment. Further defined as a mindset, abundance in living focuses on feelings of inner peace and gratitude regardless of external circumstances. Now, this is an AI overview based on a basic google search, and I would argue this isn't a far-off definition from what we are to expect from an abundant life through our salvation in Jesus Christ. True abundance isn't external at all. It is an inner feeling. Paul knew this feeling well. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength (Philippians 4:11-13). In these verses, Paul points to this inner abundance that isn't reliant on a state of experiencing more than enough. His secret? Paul's deep abiding and faith in Jesus Christ. In fact, later in Philippians 4, Paul states, And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Jesus himself gave us many examples of how abundance in the world meant much less than a relationship with him. If we consider the betrayal of Jesus by Judas, we can see how Judas's worldly seeking never led to abundance at all. In John 12:1- 8, we read the account of Mary taking expensive ointment and anointing Jesus' feet, wiping his feet with her hair. Judas confronted Jesus and asked why the ointment had been wasted and not sold to give money to the poor. He said this not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to whatever was put in it (John 12:6). Knowing Judas' heart, Jesus tells him to leave Mary alone since he will not always be with them. We all know Judas then betrays Jesus for a bag of 30 pieces of silver that he later tries to give back realizing what he had done. He ultimately takes his own life. This need for monetary abundance cost Judas his life.

December 14 2025 Sunday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 04 / T. Stacy Hayes #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word.

And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world.

This sermon explores the nature of the Kingdom of God, drawing primarily from the closing of Paul's letter to the Corinthians and the ministry of Jesus. The speaker emphasizes that the Kingdom of God is not based on ethnic origin, wealth, or social status. Instead, entrance into the kingdom is solely through faith in Jesus Christ. The kingdom is universal, welcoming people from all backgrounds, including Jews and Gentiles. It is not a kingdom that can be coerced or influenced by money or power, unlike worldly kingdoms. The lecture concludes by reiterating that the prerequisite for entering the kingdom is faith in Christ alone, and commendation within the kingdom is based on being a faithful follower of Christ, regardless of one's background.

Pro Football Hall of Fame FieldAugust 2, 2014AENEAS WILLIAMS: I'll just take a moment to soak this all in.  The moment to be here, and I will start out by telling you this, how in the world do you go from walking on your junior year a week before the season starts, your junior year at the Southern University, that's right, Ohio State, it's the Southern University.    There are so many people that I could thank, teammates, coaches, mentors.  There will be some I'll call, but some I just want to right now up front say thank you so much to every teammate at Arizona and every teammate in St. Louis. I could not and wouldn't be here without you.  But as I sought this journey, and I don't want to sound morbid or anything like that, I want to tell you something, this is an intentional journey.  I am No. 287 and because my name is the last name Williams, I am the last one in my induction class, but I also want to say thank you to the 32 owners, Roger Goodell, DeMaurice Smith of the Players Association, and here's why, because tough decisions have to be made that are unpopular, but the success and promotion and enjoyment of this game with the fans is because of the important decisions that are made that allow us to be here and celebrate with you the fans and all of these great Hall of Famers that I get an opportunity to sit up here with.    I've got two statements, if you don't remember anything I say.  Two statements if you don't remember anything else I say.  Begin with the end in mind and die empty.  Begin with the end in mind and die empty.  So let me tell you about this journey.  It all starts at home.  And I wouldn't be and could not be without the foundation.  See I've heard a lot of speeches, I've listened to them, believe me.  But I want to tell you it starts with Lawrence and Lillian Williams in New Orleans, Louisiana.  Mom and Dad, I need you all to stand up.  Dad is up here as a presenter, my mother is seated there.  Now these Hall of Famers and all, they've all been voting on who is going to cry.    Now you know that two of the guys, my first two haven't cried.  Now I'm going to cry.  I'll be you up front, I'll give you notice.  I think it was General Schwarzkopf, in an interview with Barbara Walters, and Barbara Walters said, “a big general like you, are you going to cry?  General Schwarzkopf said I'm afraid of a man that won't cry.”    To the dais with the induction, being in an induction class with the first punter.  I've been seeing all these guys that lift their legs for a living around Canton, Ray Guy.  Also to be in an induction class with three from the Historical Black Colleges.  Michael Strahan, Texas Southern, Claude Humphrey, Tennessee State, and that's right, yours truly, the Southern University.  Now let me begin to give thanks where thanks is due.  I never had to look outside my home for role models.  My two older brothers, Malcolm Williams, Achilles Williams, stand to your feet, brothers.  Malcolm's debonair president of his high school class was about The Fellowship of Christian Athletes' exciting local radio program, Heart of the Athlete, airs Saturdays at 9:30 am MST on 94.5 FM and 790 AM Boise's Solid Talk.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have on the show once again: Child and foster care, religious abuse, child sexual abuse, trafficking, and satanic ritual abuse survivor and whistleblower, campaigner of historical child abuse, Founder of S.A.F.E. - Seek And Find Everyone abused in childhood, independent researcher and reporter, podcast regular, and someone I feel honored everyday to call my friend: Dave SharpFrom the moment he drew his first breath, Dave was an orphan - entrusted not to loving arms, but to the care of the Catholic Church, a place that should have been a haven of mercy. Instead, it became the gateway to sixteen years of unspeakable torment. From infancy through adolescence, he was trafficked across Scotland, passed like a shadow between hidden houses in Glasgow's darkest corners, where men sworn to holiness orchestrated rituals of pure evil. Dave and countless other children were drugged and delivered to satanic sex parties - violated by multiple predators amid scenes of calculated depravity. These were not random cruelties; they were the work of an organized network that deliberately targeted the most defenseless: orphans and children with no family, no voice, and nowhere to turn.His tormentors were not strangers in the night. They were the very priests, nuns, and officials who had vowed to protect him. The system meant to shield the vulnerable became the perfect hunting ground, proving a harrowing truth: the safest place for a predator is the one that grants unlimited, unquestioned access to children.Yet out of this abyss rose an indomitable spirit. At sixteen, Dave shattered his chains and stepped into freedom, though the scars walk with him still. Survivors seek him out, drawn to his unbreakable courage, sharing stories that echo his own. These are not isolated tragedies; they are the unmistakable evidence of a rot that ran deep, hidden behind collars and titles.But make no mistake: Dave is no mere victim. He is a warrior forged in fire, anchored by a profound and unshakable faith in Jesus Christ. In his darkest moment he proclaimed with gratitude: “I am so grateful that God has chosen me to go out and show the evil that exists in Scotland and to tell the world to put His children first.”And that is exactly what Dave will be doing today. For weeks on end, Dave has been travelling across Scotland, campaigning for and connecting with countless other survivors across his country. And today we will hear the continued testimony of Dave's advocacy work and what he has learned and discovered on his journeys. You will not want to miss a moment of this episode. What Dave has discovered is disturbing, concerning, and upsetting, yet he brings hope to this conversation. There is simply no one who has pieced together the dirty underbelly of Scotland as Dave has, and with the sadness also comes revelations of solutions, healing, and ways we can stop this epidemic on our children in it's tracks.

On today's Healing Word broadcast, Pastor Jack Morris brings an uplifting message about the true citizenship of every believer. While the citizenship of a particular country can be a source of pride and identity, those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ have been adopted into God's family and made citizens of His eternal kingdom. Pastor Jack reminds us that this heavenly citizenship gives us both a joyful way to live now and the blessed assurance of everlasting life in Heaven. No matter what may unfold in this world, our true home and deepest hope rest securely in Him. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1528/29?v=20251111

Today we'll be in Acts chapter twenty-four, as we continue with Paul's defense before the Jewish and Roman authorities. Paul has been accused of sedition, but his only offense is preaching the gospel message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

Christmas Ddevotional continues! Here is the talk! https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/broadcasts/first-presidency-christmas-devotional/2016/12/gifts-of-peace?lang=eng "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: "Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me."10 And He will say, "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."11 Angels, shepherds, and Wise Men sought and found peace from their faith in Jesus Christ. So will you. The Savior's birth is the gift that makes it possible for the Father to give us "peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come."12 We shouted for joy in the spirit world when we heard of that promise. Peace and joy come to us again when we hear words sung proclaiming that God's loving promise was kept: All is calm, all is bright. … Glories stream from heaven afar;Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia!Christ, the Savior, is born!13

King David's life proves a sobering truth: great victories do not make us immune to great failure. In this message, we confront David's moral collapse, the devastating consequences that followed, and—most importantly—the redeeming grace of God that did not abandon him. Though David's sin brought judgment, God's covenant mercy prevailed. Through repentance and restoration, the Lord continued His redemptive plan, bringing the promised Redeemer—Jesus Christ—through David's lineage. This message centers on the hope of the Gospel: God does not excuse sin, but He redeems repentant sinners by grace through faith. This sermon is a call to self-examination, repentance, and renewed faith in Jesus Christ and Him crucified. It speaks directly to fallen warriors, weary believers, and anyone who feels disqualified by past failure. No matter how far you have fallen, redemption is found at the Cross.

The Christmas season is a time that is full of joy and life… but it also reveals where the source of our joy truly is. The question is, is your joy personal or seasonal?In this message, Pastor Mark Cummins unpacks the Christmas story in a new light, equipping us to root our joy not in changing circumstances or seasons, but in faith in Jesus Christ.

The sermon, drawn from Ecclesiastes 2:12–26, explores the futility of human wisdom and effort apart from God, illustrating how even the wisest man, Solomon, found life's pursuits—pleasure, wealth, labor, and knowledge—ultimately vain and devoid of lasting meaning. Through a vivid metaphor of reverse engineering life, the preacher shows that while human intellect can dissect existence into its components, it cannot explain the origin of life, the purpose of suffering, or the inevitability of death. Despite wisdom's practical advantages, it cannot prevent death, guarantee a wise successor, or provide enduring significance, leading Solomon to despair. The turning point comes when the preacher reveals that true meaning and joy are found not in human achievement but in recognizing all things as gifts from God's hand, where even toil and suffering become meaningful when viewed through the lens of divine sovereignty and grace. In Christ, life's components are transformed from empty vanities into opportunities for worship, hope, and eternal purpose, as all things work together for the good of those who love God, making faith in Jesus Christ the only foundation for lasting joy and meaning.

Peace on earth is more than a Christmas sentiment. Pastor Chris Meads teaches from Romans 5 that true peace comes only through being justified by faith in Jesus Christ. Because Christ becomes our righteousness, we now live with peace with God, access to grace today, and hope for glory when He returns.

In this sermon, Pastor Josh Strelecki explores the significance of the shield of faith as part of the armor of God described in Ephesians 6. He emphasizes the importance of faith not as an abstract concept, but as a powerful defense and offense in spiritual battles against evil. Strelecki explains that the shield of faith protects believers from the fiery darts of the wicked, representing the confidence and trust placed in God. Drawing parallels between the Roman shield and the spiritual shield, he illustrates how faith in God acts as a comprehensive protection, guarding not just the believer but also other pieces of spiritual armor like truth, righteousness, and peace.Pastor Strelecki further expounds on the nature of faith, asserting that it is critical because it appropriates and exacts God's provisions against spiritual attacks. He highlights the dependency of faith's strength on the substance in which it is placed—faith in Jesus Christ empowers believers to overcome challenges. He encourages the congregation to immerse themselves in God's Word, understanding the countless thoughts and promises God has for them, which arms their faith to quench all adversarial fiery darts effectively. Concluding with a call to action, Strelecki urges believers to engage actively in their spiritual battles, using their faith to defend against and subdue any thoughts or challenges that contradict the knowledge of God.

The Bible says that you can only be saved by faith in Jesus Christ. After that, we are to live by faith and trust God in our everyday lives. Grab your Bible, turn to Romans 1, and follow along with Pastor Mike.

Charlie explains the Free Grace perspective: salvation is an undeserved, complete gift received by simple faith in Jesus Christ, not earned by works. He addresses common objections about Lordship, repentance, assurance, and whether grace promotes license, grounding his answers in Scripture and practical examples. The episode highlights how grace motivates godly living, the role of the judgment seat of Christ, and how believers can have full assurance of salvation. 

We receive salvation by faith in Jesus Christ alone, but the faith we need to believe is itself a gift from God given by the Holy Spirit. He applies salvation to us.

In this episode, I'm talking directly to men—especially younger men—about what truly matters and how to order your life so you can build something that lasts.I walk through the real priorities of a man's life: getting to heaven through faith in Jesus Christ, embracing God's plan for marriage and family, and becoming excellent in your vocation so you can lead and provide well. I also break down the stages of a man's journey—from boyhood, to the adventurer, to the conquering provider, to the mentor, and finally the patriarch.I share some of my own experience raising a large family while building businesses because I want young men to know you don't have to choose between a great career and a strong family. In fact, responsibility usually makes you sharper, more focused, and more successful.What I cover:Why heaven—not comfort—is the real finish lineGod's design for family and why it leads to joy, not limitationThe six stages of a man's growthWhy delaying marriage and children often backfiresHow responsibility makes men better at everything they doIf you're a man who wants to lead well, raise a strong family, and build a legacy that endures, this episode is for you.

Share a commentWho really belongs to Abraham's family—those with the right ancestry, or those with the right faith? We follow Paul's lead and ask a simple question that cuts through centuries of argument: what do the Scriptures say? From Romans 4 to Galatians 3, the promise to Abraham narrows to a single point of focus—the Seed—and widens to welcome the nations through faith in Jesus Christ.We explore the historical rise of Islam, from Muhammad's early claims and adoption of Jewish forms to the later pivot toward Mecca and distinctive rites. That backdrop sets the stage for a frank, respectful comparison of core doctrines: the identity of God, the person of Jesus, and the cross. When Christ's crucifixion and resurrection are denied, the gospel itself is removed. When Christ is confessed as the promised Seed, Abraham's blessing becomes a living reality, not a contested storyline. This is more than religious trivia; it is the hinge of assurance. Abraham believed God was able to perform what he promised, and that same assurance rests on the finished work of Christ.We also turn the lens on ourselves. Respect for Muslim neighbors must be real—patient listening, clear words, genuine friendship. Recognition must be firm—Allah is not Elohim, and the Jesus of the Quran is not the Jesus of the Bible. And rededication must be practical—recovering habits of prayer, fasting, public witness, and heartfelt worship that match our message. Passion without truth misleads, but truth without passion misrepresents. Abraham's true heirs are those who trust the Son, and their lives should carry the sound of that promise kept.If this conversation helps you think more clearly and live more boldly, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review to help others find the show.Support the showStephen's latest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback

That backdrop sets the stage for a frank, respectful comparison of core doctrines: the identity of God, the person of Jesus, and the cross. When Christ's crucifixion and resurrection are denied, the gospel itself is removed. When Christ is confessed as the promised Seed, Abraham's blessing becomes a living reality, not a contested storyline. This is more than religious trivia; it is the hinge of assurance. Abraham believed God was able to perform what he promised, and that same assurance rests on the finished work of Christ.We also turn the lens on ourselves. Respect for Muslim neighbors must be real—patient listening, clear words, genuine friendship. Recognition must be firm—Allah is not Elohim, and the Jesus of the Quran is not the Jesus of the Bible. And rededication must be practical—recovering habits of prayer, fasting, public witness, and heartfelt worship that match our message. Passion without truth misleads, but truth without passion misrepresents. Abraham's true heirs are those who trust the Son, and their lives should carry the sound of that promise kept.If this conversation helps you think more clearly and live more boldly, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review to help others find the show.Support the showStephen's latest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback

Ever been told you need a specific denomination to be saved? We cut through that noise with a clear claim: salvation rests on faith in Jesus Christ, not on a brand, a gatekeeper, or a lineage. From there, we trace a thread that binds personal faith, covenant love, national gratitude, and moral courage into a single, compelling call to live what we believe.We open with Song of Solomon 8 and its fierce declaration that many waters cannot quench love. It's a picture of marriage that resists the disposable mindset of our age, urging us to prize covenant, protect intimacy, and treat love as a trust more valuable than wealth. Then we turn to Revelation 9, where startling images expose a deeper reality: even under judgment, hardened hearts cling to idols. That warning lands in the present day—sports, screens, politics, status—showing how modern life can sanctify distractions. Repentance is the way back to joy, not a word for other people but an urgent practice for us.History steps in to steady the frame. President Ulysses S. Grant's Thanksgiving and Christmas messages invite a nation to gratitude, peace, and goodwill—public disciplines that recalibrate our common life. We honor courage through the Medal of Honor story of Otto A. Boehler, whose charge across a burning bridge under fire embodies duty at cost. Together, these moments challenge us to align belief with action: confess Christ as the only mediator, build marriages that endure storms, resist idols that dull the soul, and choose courage when it counts.If this conversation moves you, share it with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

Paul reminds us as he did with the church of Ephesus, that we were (past tense) spiritually dead but because of God's great mercy, love and the free gift of Grace for those that came to a saving faith in Jesus Christ, are now alive to God. For those who do not have a saving faith Christ, they can receive God's free gift of grace.

As the apostle John opened this brief personal letter, he rejoiced to find Christians walking in faithfulness. We who have been saved have been so by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Now, we are determined to be found faithful. God help us keep living faithfully for Jesus!

The sermon centers on the transformative power of God's Word as a lamp and light, calling believers to live in holiness, righteousness, and obedience to Christ. It emphasizes that true righteousness is not self-generated but comes through faith in Jesus Christ, producing fruit in the life of a believer through the planting of Scripture and the work of the Holy Spirit. The message warns against worldliness and compromise, urging discernment in worship, association, and lifestyle, as the believer must choose between being a friend of God or a friend of the world. It culminates in a clear evangelistic call to repentance and faith in Christ, grounded in Scripture, offering assurance of salvation and eternal life to all who sincerely turn to Him, with an invitation to respond in prayer and receive spiritual resources for growth. The tone is both convicting and compassionate, rooted in biblical truth and aimed at personal revival and church renewal.

November 30 2025 Sunday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 02 / T. Stacy Hayes #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.

New King James VersionThe Changeless Promise15 Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man's covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it. 16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ. 17 And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. 18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.Purpose of the Law19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one.21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. 22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.Sons and Heirs26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

November 30, 2025 Morning Service. There are many occasions during our lives when we find ourselves in difficult circumstances and if we allow it, can lend itself to us not being as motivated or willing to share our faith in Jesus Christ with others around us. In this week's sermon, Pastor John Friederich uses the example of a little girl to show that this is actually a perfect opportunity to share the goodness of God. (2 Kings 5:1-3)

It's Friday, November 28th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by Jonathan Clark and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. (Contact@eanvoiceit.com) New Anti-Conversion Laws in India According to Persecution.org Police in the northwestern Indian state of Rajasthan recently registered the first case under the state's recently enacted anti-conversion legislation against two missionaries. The Christians were accused of carrying out religious conversions at a gathering through “allurement,” according to media reports. After registering the case on Nov. 20, police issued notices to the two missionaries – Chandy Varghese from New Delhi and Arun John from Kota – claiming they promoted conversion and baptised several people during a three-day program known as ‘Spiritual Satsang' at Beersheba Church in Kota. Police investigated after videos and social media clips surfaced showing event speeches and activities. Several youths allegedly announced from the stage that they put their faith in Jesus Christ and were baptized, while calling upon others to adopt Christianity. Rajasthan is one of 12 states in India that has strict anti-conversion laws. A first information report (FIR) was registered by the police after complaints were lodged by hardline Hindu groups active in controlling Christian activities. 2 Thessalonians 3:2-3 That we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.  But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. Christians in Uganda Threatened Despite Freedom of Religion Laws A Sudanese Christian family in Uganda is living in fear after Muslim extremists from Sudan and Somalia threatened to kill them. Safaa Yousif, who fled her native Sudan to Uganda due to conflict and religious persecution in 2016, received a text message from an anonymous number threatening to kill her family. Muslims from Somalia have also threatened her.  Yousif said she once gave discipleship classes to new converts, and a Somali Muslim who had put his faith in Christ was kidnapped and tortured by his co-religionists from Somalia and Sudan. Somalia is ranked 2nd on the Christian support group Open Doors 2025 World Watch List of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  Its constitution establishes Islam as the state religion and prohibits the propagation of any other religion, according to the US State Department.  It also requires that laws comply with Sharia Principles, with no exceptions in application for non-Muslims. The threats on Yousif's family in Uganda were the latest of many instances of persecution of Christians in Uganda. An interesting fact to consider is that Uganda's constitution and other laws provide for religious freedom, including the right to propagate one's faith and convert from one faith to another.  Muslims make up no more than 12 percent of Uganda's population, with high concentrations in eastern areas of the country. Pray that the Yousif family be reminded of the words of Jesus in Acts 1:7-8 It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.  But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit as come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth. New hurdle in James Comey case The prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey hit another hurdle last Wednesday as the Justice Department encountered mounting questions about how the case was presented to a grand jury for indictment, reports the Associated Press. The development risked further jeopardizing a politically charged prosecution already subject to multiple challenges and demands for its dismissal. It came during a hearing in which Comey's lawyers asked U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff to throw out the case on grounds that the government was being vindictive and as a separate challenge to Lindsey Halligan, the hastily appointed and inexperienced prosecutor who secured the indictment, is pending. The Justice Department's acknowledgment under questioning from a judge that the full grand jury did not review a copy of the final indictment is the latest indication of its seemingly disjointed pursuit of a criminal case against one of President Donald Trump's political enemies. Comey was fired by Trump in May 2017 while overseeing an FBI investigation into potential ties between Russia and Trump's 2016 campaign. The two have been publicly at odds ever since. New Exoskeleton Suit is Accomplishing Miracles At a Canadian wellness center, a unique robotic exoskeleton is allowing children with developmental disorders to walk-often for the first time. The nonprofit's Regina location in Canada is eager to get families to come and try it out.  It can be used to correct a child's gait or help them take their first steps, and is suitable for a variety of conditions including spinal cord injuries and cerebral palsy. Good News Network reports that the First Steps Wellness Center in Canada received the Trexo exoskeleton out of the goodness of someone's heart!  The $100,000 machine was donated to help children like Leo, a boy born with a rare genetic disease which left him a prognosis that walking would be impossible.  But, latched into the Trexo walker at First Steps, his mother Anna has watched her son learn to walk and develop a musculature that has him able to take steps on his own. ANNA: “He does a few steps right now by himself, and with Trexo, I'm pretty sure he'll be able to do more steps in the future, once we start using it more often.” There are currently 6 Trexo exoskeletons sold and in use today.  After a few sessions, how is Leo doing today? ANNA: “He can walk! You know, be part of everybody else, like walk like other kids. So, it's kind of- It's unique. He did amazing. I have butterflies. I can't believe [this] thing even exists!” Despite the 6 figure price tag it is the hope that more of the Trexo walkers will be made available in Canada and the US.

Daily Dose of Hope November 27, 2025   Scripture - Acts 7   Prayer:  Amazing God, thank you for giving us life in Christ Jesus. This Thanksgiving, we ask you to continue to strengthen us in Jesus Christ, driving roots deep into the soil of who he is, your Son. In the days following this celebration of your awesome provision, may the Holy Spirit well up thankfulness in our hearts to overflowing every day. Thanks be to God through Christ Jesus. Amen Happy Thanksgiving!  Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the daily Bible reading plan at New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida.  We are currently walking through the book of Acts.  Today, we working through all of chapter 7.  This chapter covers the stoning of Stephen, which seems a strange thing to talk about on Thanksgiving.  Or, maybe it's not.  We'll get to that.  If you remember, yesterday, the Jewish leaders were trying to get people to slander Stephen.  They were threatened by his wisdom.  So, they have him dragged in front of the Sanhedrin.  It's there that Stephen gives a long, eloquent history of how God worked through his people, leading up to Jesus.  Stephen doesn't mince words.  He is pretty clear that the Jewish leadership has persecuted all the prophets who have come before and then persecuted the Messiah to the point of execution.  Not surprisingly, the Jewish leaders are offended by his directness and they get really worked up when he looks up at heaven and declares that he sees Jesus standing at the right hand of the Father.  Keep in mind, this would have been blasphemy to the strict Jews who sat on the council.  There was no real trial, no real discussion.  They simply drag Stephen out and start throwing stones. Stephen was the first Christian martyr.  This was, of course, a sign of what was to come.  But Stephen also offers all Christians a beautiful model of how to live and die, trusting fully and completely in Jesus Christ.  This seems pretty foreign to us and for that, we should be thankful.  But this is truth:  Christians around the world deal with this kind of persecution every single day.    We don't think about it much but over 360 million Christians around the world suffer persecution or discrimination for their faith in Jesus Christ. Roughly 5,600 Christians were murdered in 2022, more than 6,000 were detained or imprisoned, and another 4,000-plus were kidnapped. In addition, more than 5,000 churches and other religious facilities were destroyed.  Most of us have seen the horrors that Christians in Nigeria are currently experiencing.  For other Christians, it means being denied economic opportunities or simply living under the threat of violence.  American Christians talk of persecution, but that is what real persecution looks like.  It's not being made fun of or worrying about offending someone, it's risking all for Jesus. Every year Open Doors USA releases its World Watch report of the 50 states most likely to punish Christians for their faith. Last year 11 nations were guilty of "extreme persecution." Afghanistan took the top spot this year. It is impossible to live openly as a Christian in Afghanistan. Leaving Islam is considered shameful, and Christian converts face dire consequences if their new faith is discovered. Either they have to flee the country or they will be killed.  North Korea is next, as Kim Jung-un wages a war against any foreign influences.  Then, we have countries like Somalia, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Nigeria.  On this Thanksgiving Day, let's give thanks for our ability to worship freely without fear of persecution.  But let' also give thanks for our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world who are staying faithful no matter what.  We pray for their safety, but also their perseverance, resilience, and faithfulness.  May we have even but a small amount of their courage and strength. Happy Thanksgiving, my friends.  Please know, I am grateful for everyone of you and count you all among my blessings. Pastor Vicki  

Perhaps you have heard someone express the popular common sentiment of our day by saying, "We are all God's children." But the Bible clearly states that only those who have come to God through faith in Jesus Christ can be called His children. The people of God are those who love God and who have been called by God and all this according to His divine purpose. It is on these grounds alone that all things work together for our eternal good. Listen to Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible to hear about God's love for His people. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/791/29?v=20251111

Our reading of 1 John concludes today as John continues to discuss how one might discern between those who have been born of God and those who are still worldly. One must love God and the commands of God through victorious faith in Jesus Christ which comes by the testimony of the Spirit. The one who has the Son has life, but the one who does not have the Son does not have life. In Christ, we can come to God the Father boldly in prayer, knowing that he hears us. Wrapping up his letter where he began, John says that the one who has been born of God does not continue in sin. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

"Has the doctrine of justification by faith alone really been the faith of the church in every age—or was it invented at the Reformation?In Galatians 2:15–16, Paul declares that “a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ.” Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox critics often claim that the Reformation view of justification is a late, novel interpretation. But the testimony of Scripture and church history shows otherwise.In this sermon, we explore:The Perspicuity of Scripture – why Paul's teaching on justification is clear and authoritativeThe Early Church Fathers – Clement, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Origen, Chrysostom, Basil, Ambrosiaster, and others who spoke of justification by faith aloneAugustine & the Medieval Witnesses – how even in the Middle Ages, voices like Anselm, Bernard, and Wycliffe upheld the truth that salvation is wholly of graceThe Reformation – not a new doctrine, but a return to the biblical and historic gospelFrom Adam to Abraham, from Paul to the Reformers, from the fathers to faithful believers in every century, the church has always confessed the same truth:We are justified by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone.#JustificationByFaith #FaithAlone #SolaFide #Galatians #ChurchHistory #ReformedTheology #GospelTruth #ChristAlone #GraceAlone"

Todaywe're looking at Ephesians 4:4-6. Yesterday we talked about the grace of unityin verses 1-3. This is a unity in the church among the members that aredisplayed in our humility, our gentleness, our longsuffering, our bearing withone another, and which we continually endeavor to keep so that the world aroundus sees our love for one another, and most of all, the great love of God forthe world through Christ and His cross. Butmy friend, we are not to compromise our foundational beliefs to experience thisunity. There are so many churches and people today that attempt to uniteChristians in a way that is not biblical. They say things like, "We're notreally interested in doctrine, but in love. Let's just love one another. Let'sset aside what we believe just love one another." My friend, that'scompromise. We cannot compromise the essentials of the faith, the foundationsof the faith. Pauldid not discuss spiritual unity in the first three chapters; he waited until hehad laid the doctrinal foundation. While not all Christians agree on some minormatters of Christian doctrine, they all do agree on the foundation truths ofthe faith. Unity built on anything other than Bible truth is standing on a veryshaky foundation. Now in verses 4-6, Paul names at least seven basic spiritualrealities that unite all true Christians. Didyou notice one word that got repeated over again? “One..”. Why? Paulis making it really clear there is a foundation, a ground for our unity. Thereis a ground for our faith that we must realize we cannot compromise. So, inessentials we have unity. In non-essentials we have liberty. But in all of ourbeliefs we have charity. We can still have truth in love. Even when we disagreeon a foundational doctrinal truth with someone else, we can still love themhopefully they can still love us.  Butwe cannot compromise the foundations of our faith which basically is JesusChrist was born of a virgin. Jesus lived a sinless life. Jesus died a vicariousdeath, a substitutionary death on the cross of Calvary. He was buried. He roseagain physically on the third day. And He ever lives to make intercession forus. There's only one way of salvation that is through faith in Jesus Christ. Churchmembership doesn't save you. Works does not save you. Just getting baptized andgetting wet doesn't save you. Only faith in Christ, believing, putting yourhope and trust in His salvation through the cross through His resurrectionpower is what saves us from the guilt and penalty of our sin. These are thefoundational truths. They cannot be compromised.  Inverse 4, Paul points out that there is “one body. Paul is speaking aboutthe one body of Christ in which every believer is a member. We find this in 1Corinthians 12:13: Ofcourse, this is the body of Christ, which is His church. Romans 6:3 teaches us that we should know: “we were baptized into the bodyof Christ”. This means that we were placed into Jesus Christ at the momentof our salvation! We are in one body in Christ. This is a spiritual realitythat we need to contemplate, think about, meditate on, believe with all of ourheart. Interestingly,every Tuesday morning at 8:30, at a local church here in Sneads Ferry NC, Imeet with a group of pastors from various denominations. For a fact, we do notagree on every specific area of church practices and beliefs when it comes tocertain ideas about tongues, about predestination, the particulars on the returnof Christ, music or whatever. But I assure you, that we all agree on theessentials of the foundation of faith. These men love one another. They prayfor one another. They love the people of God. They love the community we livein, and missions. In the four years I've been praying with them we are seeingand experiencing God do phenomenal things in our community because we arepraying in one accord. Despite the different names and denominations we are “onein Christ”.

Pastor Eric's message shares how misplaced trust in material possessions can fail us, suggesting instead that true fulfillment comes from faith in Jesus Christ. Emphasizing the importance of tithing, he encourages generosity and aligning one's financial habits with biblical principles to avoid the pitfalls of materialism and to cultivate a deeper relationship with God.

In this episode, Ashley Campbell explores the motivations behind our actions, particularly in relation to faith and debt. Drawing from the book of Romans, she discusses the importance of understanding God's truth, kindness, and judgment. The conversation emphasizes the distinction between working out of guilt or shame versus working from a place of faith and belief in God's promises. Ultimately, the episode encourages listeners to reflect on their motivations and to embrace the freedom that comes from knowing their debts are canceled through faith in Jesus Christ.Chapters00:00 Introduction: The Question of Motivation01:24 Exploring Romans: Truth and Reality05:03 God's Judgment and Kindness09:45 The Role of Faith and Righteousness18:18 Working for Debt vs. Faith27:17 Conclusion: Living in Freedom and FaithTakeawaysThe question of motivation is crucial: Are you working for debt or faith?God's judgment is based on truth, not on human perception.We need to seek truth outside of ourselves to understand reality.God's kindness leads us to repentance, not fear.Faith in Jesus Christ is essential for righteousness.Our works should stem from faith, not guilt or shame.Understanding our forgiveness can transform our relationship with God.Living without debt allows for greater freedom and purpose.The story of Abraham illustrates the power of belief in God's promises.We must confront our motivations to live a fulfilling spiritual life.Keywordsmotivation, faith, debt, righteousness, Romans, God's kindness, judgment, forgiveness, spiritual growth, relationship with GodFacebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/dailyencouragementwithashleycampbell/Want to purchase a signed copy of mybook?https://buy.stripe.com/7sI8xdg6F2kZgSIfZ6ORRead the reviews on Amazon? https://a.co/d/gwyks9gWant to send me a financial donation because you value what I am doing on social media?https://buy.stripe.com/eVacNt3jTbVz9qg4gkWant to join my Facebook group that will equip you with the knowledge of the History of the UnitedStates, what the Constitution means and how you can preserve this great nation we live in?Join my paid group today!

Today we'll resume our series called "The World Upside Down", with a study in Acts chapter seventeen. We'll be looking at how the ministry of Paul and Barnabas and friends, was literally turning the world upside down! This message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ was controversial to say the least, but it was saving a lot of souls! 

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. The Bible tells us, we don't have because we don't ask. So, today, I'd like to pose a challenge. Let's find out what God will do when we ask Him to intervene and draw people you and I know and love to faith in Jesus Christ. This week, we're focused on praying for those in our circles of influence over the holidays. The challenge is this: write down the names of ten people you know who need Jesus. Whoever they are – family members, friends, colleagues at work, neighbors – I urge you to write their name down and then begin to pray regularly for them. If you're already doing this, wonderful. But too often you and I pray in general. We ask God to reach the unsaved millions across the world. And while that's important, my challenge for you today is to be intentional and specific with God, and then watch what He will do!

"Is justification by faith really taught throughout the whole Bible—or is it just a “Pauline doctrine”? In Galatians 2:15–16, Paul insists that “we who are Jews know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ.” Why does he assume that every faithful Jew already knew this truth? Because the Old Testament itself proclaimed it.In this sermon, we explore the historical witness to justification by faith:Why justification by faith is the only way God's justice can be upheldHow Psalm 143:2 shows that no one can be justified by works before GodWhy the sacrificial system and atonement point to salvation by grace, not meritHow Abraham, David, Habakkuk, and the Prophets all taught justification by faithWhy Christ himself is called “The Lord our Righteousness” (Jer. 23:6)From Genesis to the Prophets, from the Psalms to the Gospel, the entire Bible proclaims the same message: no one can be declared righteous by works of the law. Our only hope is Christ, whose perfect righteousness is freely imputed to us through faith alone.This is the gospel Paul defended with all his strength—the same gospel proclaimed by Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and fulfilled in Christ.#JustificationByFaith #FaithAlone #Galatians #OldTestament #Messiah #ReformedTheology #ChristAlone #GraceAlone #SolaFide #GospelTruth"

Beloved in Christ, join us in this soul-stirring exploration of Romans 3:9-20, where St. Paul boldly declares that all—Jew and Gentile alike—are held captive under sin's shadow. With heartfelt wisdom, we delve into humanity's universal fall, the law's inability to save through fleshly weakness, and God's glorious remedy: righteousness by faith in Jesus Christ alone. Drawing from ancient liturgies of holy baptism and the Church Fathers, discover how free will led to corruption, yet divine grace lifts us to eternal inheritance. A faith-filled reminder to cling to the Good Shepherd's perfect goodness, seek His will daily, and live out deeds of love. Amen—may this message ignite your heart for deeper obedience!Rom 12:2John 10:11;151 Cor 13:9Phil 3:12-141 John 3:6

Today's Promise: Romans 6:3-4 This scripture reminds you of a powerful truth: you are dead, but more alive than ever. When you placed your faith in Jesus Christ, your old life was crucified with Him on the cross.  The moment you accepted Him as Savior and Lord, everything changed. Your union with Christ is beautifully pictured in baptism — buried in His death and raised to walk in newness of life. Through His resurrection, your past sins were buried, your failures were forgiven, and the power of sin was broken.  In this episode, discover how your spiritual death in Christ opens the door to a victorious, grace-filled life of freedom and purpose. You are no longer defined by who you were, but by who you are in Him — alive, redeemed, and walking in resurrection power.

Another life cut short—a heartbreaking loss of a 24-year-old man who felt he could no longer live on in this world. When news broke out about Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland, fans were stunned. A young athlete living his dream. Yet behind the helmet, there was pain his supporters never saw. His passing shines a light on something far deeper than football: the unseen struggles many face when identity becomes tied to performance, reputation, and public expectation. And Marshawn's story isn't isolated. We've seen this pattern before, from NFL greats like Junior Seau to athletes in other arenas such as professional wrestler Chris Benoit and former pitcher Donnie Moore. These were men under immense pressure, carrying emotional battles that success couldn't solve. For some, that pressure became too heavy, leading to tragedy. In Benoit's case, it escalated into a horrific breaking point that claimed multiple lives, including his own. For others like Moore, the crushing weight of failure became too much to bear. Yet not every story ends in despair. Some who've reached that same dark valley have since found redemption—men who turned back, choosing life, hope, and faith in Jesus Christ. Their testimonies remind us that no success can fill the void that only God can fill.   !!! SPECIAL !!!

Unity Without Compromise with Dr. Steven LaTulippe – America faces a crisis of leadership as worthless shepherds guide the flock astray. Political and religious leaders abandon biblical truth for deception and power. True restoration begins with repentance and a return to God's Word. Only through faith in Jesus Christ can America find unity, strength, and deliverance from corruption and false teachings...

President Dallin H. Oaks was set apart as the 18th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Oct. 14, 2025, succeeding President Russell M. Nelson after the latter's death. This calling continues the Lord's established pattern, confirming the longest-serving living apostle as the new Prophet through revelation and priesthood authority. On this episode of the Church News podcast, Church News editor Ryan Jensen explores the life of President Oaks with excerpts from interviews conducted in the days and weeks surrounding the prophetic calling. Family members, general Church leaders and the counselors in the First Presidency share lessons from their experiences and observations of the Prophet of the restored Church. They testify of President Oaks' preparation for this role as the Lord's mouthpiece to the world (see Doctrine and Covenants 21:5), as he has proven himself a man of faith in Jesus Christ, family and law. The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Hosts Jon Ryan Jensen, editor of the Church News, and Church News reporter Mary Richards share unique views of the stories, events, and people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Reformation Day, celebrated on October 31st, marks one of the most transformative moments in church history — the day Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany, in 1517. In today's prayer and devotional, we reflect on the fact that though Luther never sought to divide the Church, his bold stand for truth and his devotion to Scripture became a catalyst for reformation and renewal across the Christian world. As Lynette Kittle reflects, Luther wasn’t a rebel or revolutionary — he was a truth seeker who rediscovered the heart of the Gospel: we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8). His translation of the Bible into German opened the Word of God to everyday people, making Scripture accessible to all who longed to know God personally. Today, we commemorate Reformation Day not only as a historic event but as a call to continue valuing God’s Word above all else. Scripture is living and active — teaching, correcting, and equipping us for righteousness. Let us be inspired by Luther’s example to study God’s Word deeply and boldly share the Good News of salvation by grace alone. Today's Bible Reading:“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.” – 2 Timothy 3:16
